New amp being touted as among the best ever......

....possibly hyperbole but Hi-Fi News in the UK raving about the Diavlet D-Premier amplifer.

Apparently it has patented a new hybrid of Class A and Class D technology. It sounds very interesting, looks unique and would appear to be a must hear for those who are interested in high quality servers where apparently it excels-although I'd be interested to hear what it can do with any source.

Pretty expensive I believe at £12000 or approx $18000.

It looks very interesting and it's not every review you read where you really want to hear the thing.....

Here's their website, quite a lot of info on there if you browse about.

I don't have the full review handy.

Doubtless it will be reviewed in the States so until then I wish you all all the best with your aesthetically beautiful looking amps and speakers..........

Ben,

the review is posted on the absolutesounds dot com site. My curiosity was also piqued reading the review, and I would also like to hear this amplifier.

Paul Miller is not given to hyperbole, but we will find out over time if this becomes a classic or another has been.

Thanks

Completely lost interest once I saw Class D. IMO Class D is for tight budgets, Home Theater and car audio (no I haven't heard them all, but so far none have come close to the emotional level of my Scott 222D (that's a "D" I can live with!)

Class D is for tight budgets-fantastic.

Two points it is not a Class D amp.

Second point is this amp costs 10x what yours did-Audiogon I love it.

The manufacturer claims it is a hybrid of Class A and Class D.

Therefore, it incorrect to state that it's not a Class D amp. Unless this hybrid is assigned a new classification, then is a Class D amp, as well a Class A amp.

As far as I know there is not a Class A/D.

Is there?
